Part 2/7:
One of the key issues contributing to Canada's vulnerability is a widespread misconception among its citizens. Many Canadians grow up believing that their country is immune to crime or that its institutions are inherently upright and resistant to corruption. This perception fosters a false sense of security, leaving the nation ill-prepared against sophisticated threats.
As one speaker highlights, this uninformed public perception underpins why Canada remains susceptible. In reality, many of the world's most dangerous threat networks find Canada's loosely guarded borders and open society an inviting environment for their operations.
